Stuff's terrible.
It's extremely toxic, and can cause heart attacks if too much is applied.
All Rogaine really does is open up the blood vessels in the scalp and help keep it somewhat loose. Speaking from experience, when you begin losing your hair as a man, your scalp begins to tighten and the skin literally begins to thin as well. The blood vessels and veins tighten and get weak.
If you want a natural way to do what Rogaine is supposed to do, except even better, visit "Hairloss-reversible.com". It's called the "Scalp exercise". It does the exact same thing Rogaine does, but you use your own muscles in the scalp.
That said, I do not believe hairloss is genetic destiny. I've already regrown some of my hair by getting healthy and doing this exercise. I believe insulin resistance and adrenal issues, along with heart disease and circulatory problems are at the cause of it.
Women often show up with male pattern loss as a result of PCOS which has alot to do with insulin resistance as well.
